The good folks over at Instagram are always looking to make our photo sharing abilities unique and interesting. Today Instagram is back, taking a page from Apple as they have launched their very own Portrait Mode. The aim of the new feature is to give users that professional photography look. Unlike the portrait function found on iPhones 7 Plus, 8 Plus, and X, this new function on IG is available on most phones and supports photos and videos.

Instagram spoke about the new element and stated that the “focus mode leverages background segmentation and face detection technology.” The feature was originally hidden in Instagram’s code and given a public testing run. The function blurs the background while keeping a subject sharp, making for some clean, crisp shots in the process.

This gives users more options to curate their content and can be found now on Instagram Stories. Check out the new mode now on Instagram and give us your thoughts in the comments below. Stay tuned for much more on this coming soon.
